Thanks for the comments Rich, it's not just me then.
My machine might be "old" (3 years, Athlon 1700+, 512MB), but
Dreamweaver runs at the speed of light on it, even inside VMware, so
native/Linux programs hardly have any excuse whatsoever for being
slow...)
Also, my HTML files are very basic, lines never wrap, although syntax
highlighting is indeed on, but what's the heck...
I dinf bluefish otherwise fast, it's only the text editor that's always
dragging its feet. I guess I will just have to live with it until they
get round to fixing it...
